Autopsy AFL 2023 Round 2 - Lions v Demons Fri Marc 4th 7:50pm AEDT (GABBA) Power Out! BT Silenced! Crowds Sing and Dance in the Aisles!

[Chaisa]

What a weird game.

Brisbane really should've won by 50+. How Melbourne got within two goals is crazy. Says a lot about how well Oliver and Lever in particular played, and what happened in the 5th quarter.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Casualty count; 3 lights, Max Gawn, Half of Brisbane's team, and Brisbane's percentage

Also 1 transformer.

I don’t think they’ll be getting another night GF up there for a while

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Clearly the power failure was a ploy by the AFL to get people to talk about this game instead of the NRL

I almost forgot Garang Kuol got his first international goal so it clearly worked

 

[Atomboy]

Brisbane's song is the second worst in the league. This sucks ass

The French fans won’t like this…

 

[iBeng]

We legit should have lost that, shocking last 12 minutes, wouldve been better to knock the damn towers down...

 

[Skull Face]

Have you ever seen a more hollow victory?

You got your arses handed to you all night fwiw

 

[PonsfordMagpie]

2 extra minutes and I reckon Melbourne wins that game.

Bizarre finish to say the least.

 

[Lets Roar like '44]

I’ll take that…

So will I.

 

[Restricted Free Agent]

Also 1 transformer.

Vale Optimus, we hardly knew ye

 

[Wosh]

Brisbane unbelievably stiff on percentage.

Very interesting if it costs them come finals.

 

[Shinboner '07]

Lions wishing the power didn’t come back on lol

 

[A Swallow]

Pure attacking player - young Chris Judd stuff right there.

Maybe. Needs to develop some composure with ball in hand to be anything like Judd, but he certainly looks a player

 

[Looney]

Who's the worst?

 

[YeoShuey]

2 extra minutes and I reckon Melbourne wins that game.

Bizarre finish to say the least.

Interestingly enough, I don’t think they would have got so close if the lights did not go out.

 

[Toffee Lion]

2 extra minutes and I reckon Melbourne wins that game.

Bizarre finish to say the least.

And yet if the lights don't go out, I don't think they have that sudden burst.

It's all swings & roundabouts.

What did I just watch fk me

Brisbane Lions had a 6 days break going into another 6 days break game should have been called

 

[Altum Volantes]

They should have more blackouts like that, it really livened up the game.

AFL should declare they’ll do 5 a year, at random.

There are plenty worse. WC, Freo, Adelaide and GC at the very least

 

[PieLebo87]

Fages would be filthy about that last quarter. Any news regards Berry?

 

[Toffee Lion]

Very interesting if it costs them come finals.

Probably more if it costs us Top 4.

If we miss finals on %, more issues to deal with lol.

In the English Premier League game Wimbledon-Arsenal match in 1997, the lights ‘failed’ 13 seconds into the second half with the score nil-all. This was due to a Malay/Hong Kong spread betting syndicate disrupting the power and was one of many such lighting "failures" in the League. In 1999 at Charlton Athletic, the syndicate were caught red handed. Back at Charlton, Thirteen seconds in meant that the game could be counted as completed and the score stand and a very nice risk mitigation.

Did a syndicate banking on at least Melbourne being competitive, flick the switch by inducing a power failure.?

Asking for a friend

You play the Dogs who don't play until tomorrow night
